August Newsletter
14 August 2008
Click here for the THSP August NewsletterIn this edition we feature an article on the proposed Health and Safety (Offences) Bill that looks to bring tougher new penalties for health and safety offences. Following a recent fatal incident involving a crane in Buckinghamshire we also feature an article that focuses on the issue of crane safety, some recent prosecutions and examines how the Government has responded to the recommendation for a public register of crane inspections. A recent employment law article looks at the issue of redundancy - an unfortunate result of the current uncertain economical environment. And finally, we feature the August 'myth of the month' from the HSE - Even Mr Punch needs a written risk assessment.
